Next Steps

Guidelines

Tuition Assistance Plan guidelines for MIT graduate degree programs are the same as they are for undergraduate programs:

Just like any other applicant, employees who want to earn a graduate degree at MIT must apply and be accepted.

The $5,250 maximum benefit will be prorated for part-time employees.

Work requirements must be filled and academic standards met.

Tuition assistance for all graduate degree programs requires submission of a Career Development Proposal that qualifies the graduate study as career-related and verifies that relevant full-time employment opportunities in that field of study exist at MIT.

Reimbursement

Tax info

Reimbursements of undergraduate and graduate tuition and fees up to $5,250 are tax-exempt. These tax codes are continually subject to change, however. MIT will evaluate the latest Internal Revenue Code and the information provided by you in your application to determine whether the benefits you receive from the Tuition Assistance Plan are taxable.
